Seller Insight
Kenton is a superb house in pretty, Loose village. The present owners, Mark and Heidi, loved the house on the first viewing. The generous space made it the perfect family home, plus there is easy access to local schools and as the children got older, the convenience of being close to the shops and travel routes. The tranquillity and beauty of the Loose conservation valley is on the doorstep and is perfect for weekend walks and leisure time. Only two miles from Maidstone you can enjoy the best of town and country living in Kenton.
Mark explains that they have lived in Kenton for ten wonderful years and to create a warm and spacious home they have put genuine love and attention into all the areas they could. They changed the feel and look of every room to make the best use of space and create a feeling of luxury. In the last fifteen months they have completed a first floor renovation to improve the size of the landing, master bedroom and ensuite, whilst the new wooden staircase is a great feature in the house. They renovated the outside area, and a talented craftsman designed a charming down time space, perfect for adults and children. The decking was re-laid, a stunning outdoor gym built, plus a hot tub area. The pergola with festoon lighting makes for a fantastic entertainment area. The result is a home perfect for family life and easy entertaining.
The ground floor is a light flooded open plan area that allows the family to come together and the wall of windows in the family room open to invite the garden in. Heidi says Kenton is a perfect party pad and recalls many Christmas Day mornings, birthdays and happy occasions when the house and garden have been full of guests. The generous double bedrooms ensure privacy when it is needed, and the new master bedroom and ensuite are the ideal adult sanctuary.
The private garden is somewhere the family spend a great deal of time; the fire pit enables winter socialising and in Spring and Summer the garden is a sun trap. In summer you can throw open the door to the gym to create the sense of outdoor exercising and continue the keep fit regime in its winter warmth. The garden has been much enjoyed.
Loose is a community minded, friendly village with a good local school, pubs, a Sainsburys and easy access to public transport. It has also been an excellent environment for the children to grow up in. Mark and Heidi have poured their hearts into making Kenton a fabulous family home and they will sorely miss it but know the new owners will love it as much as they have.”*
